Glossary Item Box

Defines the layout of the fields when the control is in edit mode.

Remarks

Property specifies the arrangement of the fields when the control is in edit mode. Fields can be listed one below the other or they can be arranged one beside another, so that less space is required. However in the second case the fields are shorter in length.

If property is set to True, field are arranged in vertical and horizontal manner. This means that if there are a great number of fields no scroll will be needed.

If property is set to False, fields are arranged only vertically. If the number of the fields is too big, a scroll is used to display and edit them. The default value for this property is False.

It depends on the available space and user preferences, which of the two options is selected.
